Even standing on the bag, do you never see 2B taken out?

No, I assumed it was illegal to do that.

No it isn't, however if you overrun 2nd base you can get called out.

If you overrun 2nd base by a couple feet after destroying the 2nd baseman, you won't get called out.

I'm even just talking on slides. As long as you're still in the base path, you can hit the fielder. Technically, if the fielder was on the bag and you could run in full speed, hit him, and still stop yourself on the bag, it would be legal.

Well, it depends where the short stop is standing and whether the second baseman is left handed or not.
